11 – Charitable Grants
The recipients of charitable grants receive financial assistance. Numerous organisations provide financial aid to individuals with chronic illnesses or disabilities. Before applying for a grant, ensuring you are eligible and have the necessary supporting materials is essential.
Most charities only accept applications from individuals, but if a caretaker or family member applies on your behalf, you may be eligible for financial assistance.
On the website of the Charity Commission, you can find exhaustive lists of registered charities that can assist you with funding your care expenses.
12 – Care Support Grants
In needy cases, the NHS may provide financial assistance to assist with the cost of care. These are known as Care Support Grants and can be used to pay for anything from transportation to clothing.
Before applying, you must consult your physician or nurse practitioner, who will be able to advise you on the best course of action. The NHS website contains additional information about Care Support Grants.
13 – Selling Personal Belongings
If you own a home or other personal property, they can contribute to your care costs. Selling your home may be the most viable option, but it’s important to consider the repercussions before doing so.
You can also sell any assets that could contribute to the cost of care. Consult a financial advisor if you are uncertain as to whether this is suitable for your situation.
Whatever choice you make, it is in your best interest to conduct research and explore all available options in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
